Jason Alder also has fingering charts available for B-flat clarinet and contrabass clarinet.

From the author:

"Ten years have passed since releasing the 2nd Edition of my Bass Clarinet Quarter-Tone Fingering Chart, and in that time I have seen its popularity grow enormously. Many people have relied on it for their fingerings, university clarinet teachers are using it in their studios, and the chart and fingering diagram have been cited in numerous papers and publications. In that time, I have also released two editions of a quarter-tone chart for clarinet with a third releasing simultaneously to this one, and most recently a compilation of three separate charts for Leblanc, Selmer, and Eppelsheim contrabass clarinets.

The first obvious change in the 3rd Edition is to the title. I have added Altissimo to better reflect that these charts are not only useful for their quarter-tones, but also for their stratospheric range. The charts have also had a formatting revision and are now being published through AMA Editions, available in print as well as digital forms.

The next big change is the addition of 138 quarter-tone and altissimo fingerings, and some corrections and revisions to the existing ones. With these revisions come some new notations of the diagrams. One of these is the use of grey-colored keys, first used in the contrabass clarinet charts, to indicate keys which may be added to help tuning, response, and/or resonance. Rather than creating a new diagram for every possible combination, I thought it would be more effective to show the fundamental fingering in black, with the grey keys as possible additions dependent on what works best for a player and their instrument.

My original charts were made using a Buffet Prestige bass clarinet, but I have since changed to a Selmer Privilege instrument. One particular difference with this instrument is the articulated C♯/G♯ mechanism, which does not allow the key to open when either of the first two fingers of the right hand are down. Some of the fingering additions were to accommodate instruments with an articulated mechanism, and previous fingerings that will not work on instruments with one have been marked as such. The biggest obstacle with this mechanism is for written C4-quarter-sharp, which has no suitable alternative. Another difference is with the thumb key configuration. On the Buffet Prestige and many other instruments, the top key is an alternate for low D3, whereas on a Selmer Privilege and Buffet Tosca it is an alternate for low E♭3. While it’s not possible to cater to every different keywork layout configuration, I decided to remove fingerings which use this key in favor of those using an alternate one."

Great fun for our dogs!
Style: Original
My dogs can’t get enough of this very noisy ball. We have one outside and one in their playroom. It is very noisy. It is very hard. So, I’d say a room with fine furniture is not the place for it. Ours bang it around pretty good. Our boxer did split one, biting it. But, she’s a serious chewer! Our other dog carries it around sometimes but hasn’t been able to damage it yet. So, I’d say for most chewers it’s going to last a long time. It’s a great toy but in most households I’d say basement or outside. Again, it’s hard and did ding a few baseboards.

Superb!
Style: Original
My dog absolutely loves this ball. It's too big for him to fit all the way in his mouth, so it's held up pretty well and still makes the sounds.

Durable, Rugged, Dog Approved Fun!!
Style: Original, Style: Original
This thing is durable and worth every penny! I bought this over 5 years ago for my rescue and he STILL loves it. He plays with it near daily and it's got a LOT of love-work scrapes, scratches, and scuffs. But it still works perfectly!! Because he's on the medium side, he can't quite bite down on it. Not sure how it'd hold up to heavy chewers with larger mouths. But he can play with this solo for ages and has SO MUCH fun. We love to listen to his "conversations" as he gets into it with this ball. It's been a winner since the day we took it out of the box. It's also the longest lasting toy we still have! Everything else either wore out, was destroyed, or broke. This battery-free ball has made the cut for us.

Lasted a day for my dog
Style: Original, Style: Original
My dog absolutely loved this toy, but sadly it didn’t even last a full day 😩 I’m not sure if that’s because I have a Rottweiler/Lab mix with the jaw strength of a tiny excavator, or if the durability just isn’t great. Within a few hours, he had already torn right through it 🥲 That said, the sound it makes had us cracking up and definitely kept my dog entertained and intrigued while it lasted!
